Sorry....I can't answer that question. I was only able to download music and mp3 files....not sure about books...let me know we're to get it and I will work on it Saturday. I'm not by my computer but I used the Walkman on the road today. So send me info and I will see if it works

Hi L, Sony Walkman supports MP3, WMA, AAC or L-PCM music files. All files will be played in the order you copied the files on the folder except you press Shuffle option. -Vincent

Depends upon what you mean. I have listened to audio books that I have downloaded from my local library on the Electorhome and they sound just fine. However I did need to copy the files to the player (this is as easy as copying files from one directory to another in windows). The player does not, as far as I know, have built in support for things like Audible like some more expensive players. Also, the player does not have the ability to play books at various speeds - which is a feature I would dearly love to have when listening to audiobooks. That said - for the money you get a very good player for audiobooks. Depends upon what you mean.

Play them back and listen to them. Or memorize which is which. Try using the different folders to record similar types of things. I have one folder for interviews, one folder for choir practice, one folder for personal reminders, etc.

You can, but it still won't play them in any order that I could work out. Not numerical, not in track order. Just some random order.

I don't use mine for audio books but my husband does and he says yes...it does. Please note though....he uses his primarily for audio books and the unit died after about 6 months of use. I have the same player in a different color and only use mine for work outs and mine is still working. I don't know if it was because you have it on such a long time when you are listening to audio books versus music or not.

Amanda-Since you already have it, can you tell me if it has bookmarking capabilities? I will be using it mostly for audiobooks.

I don't know about books. I DO know, when I'm listening to a music CD and shut it off during play, it will always return to the first song, so I'm guessing NO, it won't.

I am an Audible user so have no idea about the Overdrive books, but if you convert them to mp3 they will play. Restarting from where it was turned off at, most of the time...the rest of the time, the battery dies....

I don't have an audio book on mine yet, but for a song, there is a play speed option when you hold down the right side of the screen for an extra 2 seconds. It can be set to 0(default), 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Not sure what speeds they correspond to. Since audio books are part of the Music library options, I would guess this option is also available for audio books.I have firm-ware version 2.01US, so you might have to upgrade if your player has an older firmware. I didn't remember seeing the audio books option in the earlier firmware.

The library's a great suggestion -- thanks! I called both SanDisk and Audible to complain about their mutual incompatibility and was told by both that it was up to SanDisk. Anyway, my lesson from all of this is that I should look into these things more thoroughly before I buy another player (which hopefully won't be any time soon!).

Hi,Yes you can definitely listen to podcasts. Audiobooks are also an option to listen to on an iPod shuffle.Underwater Audio Customer Service

I finally purchased with cowon d2 and am very happy. I listen to audiobooks on it and it can bookmark, but play the next track after the bookmarked track (extremely important). I had the creative zen for awhile and returned it as it didn't have as many features as the d2. If you have any questions about the d2, please feel free to ask.

I am having the same issue with mine. I use my head phones while I run while also using Runkeeper which uses GPS to track my workout. I don't know if the two apps are interfering with each other or if I just have a poor connection to my wireless head phones.

Am thinking about buying the Creative Zen and read where someone stated it was hard to bookmark on the SD card. Have you had problems doing this too?He said it was not good for audiobooks. I use my Creative Zen Vision W and iPod only for books and would like to purchase another.....Thanks for any info......

Yes, it has an automatic bookmarking system. Any time you return to an audiobook or video you were previously listening to, it will ask you if you wish to resume from where you left off. It will do this for each individual file. I think you can also put down bookmarks manually in audiobooks only (but I'm not entirely sure if I remember correctly).

The answer to both questions is "no". I have a question for you; have you found a way to "pause" when you are listening and then pick up where you left off. The instructions say you can but I have found that it to be true.
